Robbie Keane

[Argus]

The Sun says we asked about him....yes I know the its only The Sun...
possible or Bullcrap guys???

 

[SJN-Fox]

I suspect we did ask about him. However, it's history not speculation.

Was rumoured ages ago around the same time as Santa Cruz, Given et al. Rejected us allegedly!

Is that French?

'et al' means and others. Just a type of abbreviation, it saves listing lots of names. I have no idea if it is French, although I would suspect it is.

 

[SJN-Fox]

Is that French?

No it's Latin.

 

[FryattFox]

"et alii" (full form) is Latin for "and others"

 

[bocadillo]

Is that French?

It's an abbreviation for a Latin phrase.

birch just revealed we offered to pay keanes 75k wages in full and he turned us down.

 

[drummindefender]

good ! 75k is ridiculous

If it was just on loan until the end of the season, surely it *could* be worth it. Keane would be quality at this level.

I accept that it is a moo point anyway, as we may as well discuss Messi coming here.


(like the opinion of a cow...it doesn't matter)

Cowist.

Yes, yes, we all saw Friends. Except Macky, he didn't.

 

[Ian Marshall]

£75k per week?

Crikey.

I'm not even convinced he'd do all that well here if we played him up top on his own!

As a bit of a pointless aside here, I can't help thinking that Jason Roberts would have been an awesome signing. I know he isn't everyone's cup of tea, but he DOES have a cutting edge that I just don't think he have up front. Raw pace, power, awareness (underrated part of his game), holds the ball up and he can finish (sometimes).

For me Robbie Keane is more of the same (albeit far better quality) nice touches, flicks and stepovers here and there, but too often looking to run channels or try spectacular cross field balls or similar. What we're lacking is really someone to stick the ball in the net.

Obviously, if offered Robbie Keane on sensible wages, we'd be foolish not to snap him up, but I think I'd rather have a bigger, stronger, goalscorer than a talented, often brilliant forward who doesn't always show up (we already have a couple of those - most notably Gallagher).

2nd half of the season with robbie keane upfront with bednar...would love that.
